baucus and pryor, to me, that's pretty indefensible as is heitkam p. baucus has been in the senate since 1978. baucus was there in the '90s and he voted i believe it was for the assault weapons ban in 1994. he faced the voters in 1996 and there was an ad that the montana shooting sports association ran when he was running for reelection in '96 that said all in favor of gun control raise your right hand. it was drawing of adolf hitler saluting and ban baucus, not guns. he nearly lost his seat. the closest reelection that he's had. i look at that and say that's the classic exam a am when we say something that's popular at an ab tract policy level and gets filtered through the system, that's a perfect illustration of the max baucus voting got trickled down to that. he nearly lost his seat. >> but he did win. and john tester did the right thing. again, he has more time. max baucus -- >> there are democrats who are making noise about not just stopping the flow of money to these democrats but challenging them in primaries next year. going into arkansas and a

about their re-election when i will gladly give this seat up next time you invite me to senator mark pryor of arkansas, to senator mary landrieu of louisiana, both who are democrats who fear their own re-election prospects this year and are absolutely -- >> i totally agree with you. >> they are cowards worried about the election. >> there are six or seven democratic senators who are utterly gutless, too, about this. because my definition of gutless is not that they don't agree with me or the president. it's that they're voting against their conscience and everybody knows it. >> not doing what's right for the country. i actually disagree with you. i think that comes down to a number of politicians that are frankly more concerned about the re-election than they are about what is right for this country. it's really unfortunate. you look at mitch mcconnell. this is a guy running for re-election in kentucky, he could very well be challenged by someone further to the right than he is. that's his challenge. he's not concerned about what the country wants, 91% of the country wants. he's concerned
